I purchased over 20 of these and half of them the screws don&rsquo;t even fit in the holes!!!! Causes huge headaches and they always get stuck and strip out. This is a very low quality design due to mounting issues.

I&rsquo;m thinking no since the new board is 13mm wider than the old pcDuinos but it&rsquo;s hard to tell from the pictures here.</p>KK5JY on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearKK5JYurn:uuid:b0a6a05e-4cd3-abfa-b48c-71f03272a9592014-04-10T00:26:19-06:00<p>All the stuff you read about this box&rsquo;s shortcomings is true. I have had to modify them just to get an UNO R3 unit in them with a single shield on top. The form factor is nice, but the execution is not great. For $7, the expectations need to be reasonable, but there are some things that seem like they shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue, even for $7. The fasteners that hold the enclosure halves together don&rsquo;t always seat completely. They definitely strip out easily, both on the head, and on the threads.</p>
<p>There are gazillions of Arduinos in circulation &ndash; I&rsquo;m not sure where all the awesome enclosures are, but they are scarce.</p>EdZilla on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearEdZillaurn:uuid:1cf11ea6-dd91-8b2b-bc14-32c4630fe7a32014-04-05T08:52:37-06:00<p>Will this fit the arduino yun?
Especially wondeding whether it will fit with a micro SD in the slot?</p>Customer #508360 on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearCustomer #508360urn:uuid:d8a32000-66c8-ee9e-9635-0476694f82ca2014-02-15T15:32:56-07:00<p>Just so many things wrong with this
- Screw holes don&rsquo;t line up with UNO R3.
- Plastic cutting screws supplied have 1.5 threads of engagement so threads are one-time use only.
-Cut out for protruding USB jack is not tall enough so panel does not allow clam-shell to fully close.</p>
<p>The only thing going for it is that the case is expandable with the stacking kit. But&hellip;
- The male threads on one of the stacking kit&rsquo;s brass standoffs are machined undersized so it doesn&rsquo;t fit.</p>BluesFan44 on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearBluesFan44urn:uuid:e0a0d346-3f18-8138-7a19-cfef884816832013-10-02T10:20:42-06:00<p>Will this hold an Arduino Uno?</p>KM4HPK on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearKM4HPKurn:uuid:a5269c33-e464-7c4b-71bb-2b45c5a45a372013-07-19T09:44:36-06:00<p>thanks</p>Customer #451705 on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearCustomer #451705urn:uuid:0b87be11-98c8-1334-845a-f2f95e2e293a2013-07-03T19:59:24-06:00<p>Yes it does fit a Mega 2560, and has a faceplate to suit basic Arduino connectors (USB-B and power). The mounts are for Uno and similar boards. The DFR Mega board doesn&rsquo;t have the &ldquo;middle&rdquo; holes, and there are no mounds corresponding to the Mega rear-end holes. There are additional screw mounds set further back so an Arduino can be mounted entirely inside the case (ie not protruding through a faceplate).</p>KM4HPK on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearKM4HPKurn:uuid:9af3df28-1ded-3647-482d-cf409a745cb02013-06-28T13:37:41-06:00<p>Will this hold an Arduino Mega 2560?</p>
<p>If not, does anyone know where I might find one that does?</p>

See if you can find replacement Torx bolts with the same screw threads to replace them with. Also, once in the enclosure, you will not be able to eject MicroSD cards without really applying some bending force to get it into the socket, potentially damaging the MicroSD cards and the socket. Definitely need a Rev. B of this product.</p>Colecago on PRT-11797 - Enclosure for pcDuino/Arduino - ClearColecagourn:uuid:1d7f8c8c-7758-e5a6-6cbe-ccff5758cc832013-05-17T18:47:20-06:00<p>Have not had good luck with this case.

To get at the SD card the case must be opened, but the pcDuino board does not have to be removed. The actual outer dimensions are 1.33" high by 3.55" wide by 5.03" long. The LCD opening is 2.67" by 0.69" and it comes with a snap-in cover so it can be closed off. The other opening is 1.19" by 0.93" and comes with two snap-ins; one to close it off and one with 4 holes (each 0.23" square). It&rsquo;s a nice case; buy it here or go another 7 miles to CuteDigi and get it for $1 less.</p>
<p>And no, there are not really any &ldquo;Pop out plates for GPS, buttons, sensors, switches, knobs etc&rdquo;, there&rsquo;s just the one plate with 4 square holes and the two solid plates. So you will need to cut the holes for buttons and etc yourself.</p>
